Female Supremacy
82Now we all know how modern western culture celebrates women and femininity as superior and more precious than men and masculinity. That is not news to anyone older than four. I’ve written before that I think this is one of the reasons for men becoming more feminine and it's a way of adapting and actually I love them for it.
Female supremacy is the notion that women are superior to men and that they should be the “ruling gender” so to speak and that men should take some kind of second place and answer to them. If a society is built with this as a core value, we might call it a matriarchy. In this article I want to analyze this belief, look into why it is such a common ideology and finish up on why particularly cross dressers tend to follow it. I was inspired to write this article after receiving yet another email form a kind fan with the opinion that women have superiority over men and if they were in charge, everything would be better.
First let me clarify a few things in advance: Being superior or not, doesn’t necessarily say anything about leadership or authority. If you have a leadership position, that doesn’t make you more superior, it makes you more responsible (that’s the buzz word of leadership). I also think that anyone who really is that capable and virtuous should be granted the status they deserve. Call that a meritocracy if you want and it's something that I firmly believe in and it has absolutely nothing to do with gender.
The Origins of Female Supremacy
Maternity!
Here’s one
complex phenomenon that I can give you a straight and simple answer for. There
is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it all relies on the fact that it is a
woman who gives us life in a direct sense. Our mothers also play a much bigger
role in shaping our personality than our fathers. Why? Because most of our
personality is formed in the first few years of our lives and with whom do we
have closest contact in that period? Yep, you guessed it: our mothers. Camille
Paglia even thinks that, because of procreation, women are actually destined to
rule over men. Whether she’s right about that destiny or not is another
question but she certainly is right about why it might happen. But do not mistake authority with superiority. Just because women have that
natural power and our society might one day be a matriarchy, that does not make them generally superior. It also doesn't mean that such a matriarchal society is preferable to a democracy.
There is more to it of course. The belief in female superiority has two sides to it: male and female:
- Women with this belief can be
placed firmly in the category of fanatic radical feminists. Usually they
not only want women to rule the world but also to reduce the male population
to a minimum or even remove it entirely or establish a kind of fanatical matriarchy. We call them the man haters, the misandrists. They'll argue that matriarchies would be more peaceful and fair to all their members. Fortunately
they constitute a small minority of women and will never get their way and if
somehow they do, then they’ll change their minds very quickly. With some women there might be a belief in female superiority that does not have a negative premise but you won't find many of these either.
- Men, surprisingly, turn out to be the main supporters of female superiority. That requires a little explanation. You need to understand that men are very much driven by their instinctual attraction to women and, if they’re somehow influenced in their early development, that attraction can manifest itself in very unusual ways. This female supremacy is one of them. We'll go into detail on this further on.
Why Men want Female Supremacy
Of course
not all men want this, not even 10% but it’s still a lot who do. With many of
them it's just a fantasy that they get excited by. But even if it's not, there
are many who really think a matriarchal world where men are subservient to women is
desirable. You need only look at some of the many websites dedicated to the
topic. They’ll even justify it with all kinds of pseudo scientific arguments
and some will even find religious justifications for it. But nobody can really
deny that it’s actually about their own fantasy and the thought that it might
become real, makes it that much more exciting to them. Not surprisingly, with some people it's just an opportunity to make a quick buck and capitalize on that male fantasy. We can find plenty of examples of them too.
Female Glorification
In ancient Greece, it was the male body that was
glorified as the ideal of aesthetic beauty (I certainly see why^^). Today it is
the female body. Men in particular glorify everything feminine and raise it on
a pedestal and often worship women from beneath. Many modern men consider women to be something better, purer, more beautiful and good spirited than
themselves and other men. This female glorification is surely a driving
factor in men’s desire to submit. Boys often get taught about female
superiority from an early age and that means that it’ll stick with them
subconsciously for the rest of their lives (we'll look into this later). It is like an
indoctrination really because it has no basis in reality. I wrote a lot about this in Female Worship.
I believe this is probably the single most important factor that enabled the feminist movement to gain so much influence. That of course contradicts their ramblings about a patriarchy, because if there really was a patriarchy, then it wouldn’t have been overthrown so easily. In reality, women have a lot of power over men and their decision making and they’ve had it long before the 70’s. In a sense, one could make the case that female supremacy is already on top of us and we just don’t know it yet.
We should be concerned
Let me get this straight. If a man wants to submit to a superior woman, worship her and take on the submissive role, I would never deny anyone that. As long as nobody suffers, this is ok. In fact it’s more than ok. It’s beautiful – especially if a couple love and respect one another, then this power play is a great way to get emotionally closer and grow together on a deeper level. I can so testify for that! But I really think it needs to stay within reason. The thought of living such an alternative lifestyle 24/7 is just out of question for me and probably for most people – male and female.
What worries me though is when people project their private lifestyle choices onto public life and even politics. They demand that a matriarchal supremacist lifestyle for everyone and justify why it's the “only true way to live” and that it's “what mother nature intended”. Incidentally, you'll also find people that advocate the exact opposite (i.e. that men should take the lead) and make the same errors in trying to impose it on everyone and they also say that "mother nature intended it". I think they all paint a much prettier picture of it than it really is. If female supremacy actually did replace democracy, then it would be anything but desirable. None of those benefits that I mentioned above that a couple can get from it would translate to the large scale in society. It just wouldn’t work that way. On the other hand, with that concept you'd have all the ingredients for a regime that suppresses one part of its population. Not good!
So please, dear followers of any kind of gender based hierarchy, by all means live that way in your own private life with your spouses and friends but do not try to make it a political movement.
Female Superiority as a Popular Belief
The idea that women are better than men is so common now days that we hardly even notice it when we hear it expressed. A little while ago US President Obama said publicly that “women can do anything that the boys can do, and do it better…”. That is just one example. The media, politics, and education all have this semi-conscious premise that women are superior to men. They love it. The men seem to love it as much as the women and it’s not healthy at all. And it’s been going on for at least 30 years now.
Firstly, it usually isn’t true. If women were averagely more capable than men, then that difference would be so small that the difference between various women among each other or men among each other is far greater. So it says nothing about our personal capabilities. It’s like saying people with freckles have a higher IQ on average. Well they might but it’s probably just a coincidence.
However, there are areas were women seem to outperform men and other areas where men often do better such that it can’t be just a coincidence. Physical performance aside, I think that this is entirely or mostly due to their different upbringing and not some natural superiority. But even if it was, there are so many exceptions that you can’t make a political case for it without resorting to unfair generalizations.
There's a far more worrying side to this though and it is the main motivation behind this article:
Boys
An adult man might get irritated or bored or just dismiss the public assault on his gender. If he’s confident and established, then it shouldn’t bother him much. But this is entirely different for boys who grow up in all this bombardment with female superiority. Since the 80’s or even before that, boys have been born right into the battlefield of a gender assault and they’re the real victims. In this decade, for the first time, we’re seeing a generation of young adult men who grew up in this and the consequences of this mass hatred are only slowly beginning to emerge.
Is it any wonder why so many men have become more feminine? This is the reaction of a boy who grows up and has internalized the notion that femininity is desirable and masculinity is detestable. Don’t blame men for becoming feminine. They’re just trying to survive in a society that has been very hostile towards them from a young age. It’s a logical response to the ideology of female supremacy. Now, as I mentioned often before, I love feminine men and I love the fact that they exist but I do sympathize with their status in society. Not only have they been pressured into this role, but now also many will ridicule them for being “wimps” and tell them to “man up”. How sinister is that? Just imagine how betrayed these boys must feel by society. Well I can’t really, I just voice this from what I learned from talking to one of them.
This whole process self-perpetuates and makes things worse at an even faster rate every year. Boys are now under performing compared with girls at almost every level. The gap is increasing at an astounding rate. And the female supremacists use this as “evidence” to make their case. At the same time, it makes the boys even more insecure and makes them drop at a faster rate. I am certain that the under performance of boys is entirely due to the fact that they’re under a lot more emotional stress than girls but society refuses to change that and we’re given the old “boys will be boys” argument.
There is loads more to say about this but I’ll have to keep the article at a readable length.
Crossdressers and Female Supremacy
I know from experience and a number of emails that cross dressers have a very strong tendency to worship the feminine. This is one of the motivations behind cross dressing. There’s nothing wrong with that of course and I think it can be a healthy way of expressing your desires or getting in touch with your feminine side not to mention a source of fun for any couple.
Many cross dressers take this further and reject everything masculine – in themselves as well as in others. This, of course, is not so good and I hope that people will try to work against it. My boyfriend has some of these tendencies and we’ve come to the conclusion that it is a result of indoctrination by the female supremacy movement. He told me he even went through a stage where he thought he was a woman trapped in a man’s body. But it was a delusion because he is as much a man as anyone. He was just taught by society to reject masculinity and simply responded by growing up with this little hang up.
I hope that you dear cross dressers out there can learn to accept your masculinity as something equally valuable, beautiful and precious as femininity. You should appreciate that the male body has an aesthetic beauty that is in no way less than the female beauty (more in my humble opinion…). Also, a toned male body can look absolutely stunning in feminine garments if you do it right. It’s like a gorgeous contrast between the two sides of humanity – the best of both worlds. It isn’t a coincidence that many fashion designers toy with the androgynous. Besides, if you were female, then cross dressing wouldn’t have its appeal because women already wear men’s clothes in every day life. It wouldn’t have the impact it has and consequently you’d have never discovered it as a way to have fun.
As usual feedback is appreciated!

"we all know how modern western culture celebrates women and femininity as superior and more precious than men and masculinity. "
This is fact, biologicaly speaking Women ARE more important than us and regarding brain connection they are natural born leader and men executers of such leadership. Female are obviously the Superior gender and must rule.
Lucy, it reminds me of beer. I like to drink beer, but drinking it 24/7 wouldn't be so fun. Waiting for the right day and time, having a beer to look forward to, thinking about how tasty it will be all help to make it more enjoyable when the time comes. In short, the times when there's no beer makes beer better.
The same goes for when the right time comes to step back from being the leader and decision maker and to put on the lingerie and dresses and spend time being submissive to my wife.
Beer and lingerie are both good ways to take a break.
Lucy,
I agree with you. Many men won't like the female supremacist society. I'm also not sure what it will look like. Let's face it, it won't be the 1950's with the roles reversed. The large majority of women (even Lesbians) do not like feminine men, let alone want to make one their house husband. Even feminine women and stay at home moms are criticized by society today. What will we see? Some things we see already. Women will not put up with men who cheat or even go out drinking with their pals. They are financially independent and will just get a divorce. Hence, the higher divorce rate. Other women don't even bother getting married. If they want a child, they hook up with a man and kick them out when they are pregnant. They then take him to court to make sure he pays his child support or society will throw him in jail. Women like this call men a "wallet". I know men who work two jobs just to pay child support and live like paupers. We will see more and more of this. We will also see men leaving jobs to follow their wives when their wives are promoted or take leave to raise the kids as their wives will make more. We will see men trying hard to save their marriages. Women will therefore make more and more of the decisions and men will have to like it. The male approach at work (assertive, loud, aggressive) will be less valued than the woman's approach (nurturing, caring, team building, understanding of family issues). Women already own the majority of small businesses. These trends will only grow.
Lucy,
You said "Probably many of the men who dream about a female supremacist society wouldn't like it so much when it's really in place."
Nope. I wouldn't like it at all. I like having undies induced periods of total submissiveness to my wife. That's totally different from the idea of women in general being supreme over me just because I'm a guy.
I look forward to women taking control apart from the obvious sexual dominant angle imagine more and more women becoming ceos male personal assistants at least totally equal pay having power having freedom being liberated women deserve to be valued cherished worshipped and loved above anything or anyone else women talk men bluster I love ALL women they rock my world
One wonders if the incredible shift of power between the sexes is one that, after the pendulum swings heavily in favor of the female, shall ever moderate and return to a place giving males equality. I suspect that society as the female reshapes it shall never let that happen.
Some here state the grasp of control of matriarchy will never reach that the past patriarchy had and that males will not be subject to the same restrictions once foisted on the female sex. However, consider how much has changed in a mere 60 years. There are upheaval and reversal of behavior among the sexes that are unheard of in but those 2-3 generations -- and change is accelerating.
When the current group of females aged under 20 years take over leadership position in the nearmfuture it is hard to imagine just how much more the dynamics of sexual politics will fall in favor of the formerly 'weaker sex'.(Remember that term. It once was accepted as a TRUTH!)
Girls and younger women today for the most part truly do have a self-image of superiority when comparing themselves to the male. Such a general situation has NEVER been found in human history human history. They've learned of female superiority in education and the media, and those venues are strengthening the concept increasingly still.
The one area of projected continuance of male primacy is said to be bodily strength. However, even in this oft mentioned category there is STRONG evidence females are closing and shall continue to close THAT gap.
The reversal of the sexual hierarchy may also be advanced due to the changes in sexual attitude. Increasingly higher percentages of females have no reticence about choosing 'beta', submissive and even more 'feminine' males as mates. Now the effect of this difference of selective breeding will likely be discounted, BUT CAN IT BE SO TOTALLY?
Further, how might the increase of Lesbianism affect the paradigm of power. The male ego and psyche of 'alpha' males does seem somewhat unable to adjust to minimalization and marginalization of importance, further dismantling the confidence of the once 'ruling' sex. This sexual blow to the male self-image of seeing themselves even sexually less attractive to may in the long run prove the most devastating of all other factor.
So, all in all, although it is posited society shall never evolve into a reversal of the 1950's model of female and male roles, one cannot entirely rule out such a development, or one yet more weighted in the females favor.
The 'day of the male' has definitely ended, it is a matter only of how much greater the 'AGE of the FEMALE' shall far overshadow it...
Females, please try to contain the excesses of your advantage and amusement you enjoy of growing power... males, tread VERY carefully as you now serve under those you once commanded...
I am a male and I do think women are far superior than us males. Males die from almost every disease far more often than women and males commit almost all of the violent crimes but at least when males murder someone, they most often murder other males. A woman in my class stated that if you are looking for an unknown criminal who committed a violent crime, you would start by looking for someone with testicles.
Another thing that shows males are inferior is keeping life going. One male can do what it takes hundreds of women to do so it is easy to see that males are far more expendable then are women.
This can be seen by a college survey I took once where both males and women were asked if they came across an accident where a male and a woman were injured both would die without immediate help but you could only save one, which would you choice. ALL the males said they would save the woman while only one woman said she would save the male. It came out to around 92% that the woman would be saved while the male died. When the question was reversed as to who would be killed if either a male or a woman were killed, the male was chose again by over 95 of both males and women
I think this shows that almost everyone values women far more than they value males and I have agree with them although I am a male.
Oh I did an unofficial survey and asked about 50 men and 50 women who they thought were superior. Half the men said women were but they would not admit it openly. About 10 men openly said women and the other 15 said it was the males hands down. Of the women about 30 said women were, 10 said it was equal and 10 said males were. It would seem that more of both sexes are starting to think women are the superior gender.
It would be very interesting if some major pollster did an official poll on this topic. I sure would be interested in knowing the official results. It would also be good to see how many males know women are superior and how many women do. Personally I think women win by 90 to 10 over us males (There are still a few things males are better at) And no I do not regret women are superior and not even that they are superior by a 9 to 1 margin. From what I have seen in most males I sure am glad males are not superior.
Ron it is good to see more males who are not afraid to admit the inferiority of the male gender and since I noticed you call men males all the time but were careful to call us women and not females, it seems you have learned your lesson well. Using the term MALE while calling us women does show that women are superior much more than using male and female. Women elevates us while MALE does put human males on the same level as other males, just an another animal that had the misfortune of being born with testicles.
It is also good to know that you are glad you are a male and than use that to please women. That is the attitude all males should have toward women and this should apply to young girls too as even young girls are vastly superior to most adult males.
Superiority of women and their values and relational ways of being are certainly needed in our world (males have done such a spectacularly dismal job) If women were valued maybe it wouldn't be so hard to be a male who wishes they were a woman and adores women.
You know what really bothers me is the language of female supremacist followers. Nothing wrong with private power exchange; Do whatever you like. But don't project to the general public. The eloquence and language pattern picturing males/females as superior/inferior resembles black/white, jew/non-jew, catholic/protestant, etc. so closely it makes my scin crawl!

I'm not sure the overall picture-change, with regard to men, has anything to do with femininity. I have two grown sons - both handsome, well dressed, very masculine, and yet not at all "clods" or "violent boors". They're gentlemen, that's all.
I absolutely, absolutely, treasured my two little boys; and when they were little it always bugged me that people would say, "I hope you have a girl, because you can 'dress' girls." I wanted my little boys to know that being well dressed, well behaved, and non-violent weren't things only girls could be. I wanted to "raise human beings first, and let gender take care of itself when the time came", and I wanted my little sons to know how valued boys are (by aiming to help them like who they were and know how to be "the best them" they could be, as people). I wanted them to grow up as strong people (as I'm a strong person, myself); but I wanted them to know that who they were was about the person they were on the inside.
When I later did have my little girl, I raised that "person first" (only with aims to help her know how to make the most of who she was, as I had with her brothers).
So, for me, having raised two sons who were strong but kind boys, and who dress nicely, wasn't about not valuing masculinity but, in fact, valuing it more than "the world" had seemed to until my own sons came along.
I'm not necessarily saying your premise is incorrect - only pointing out another aspect to the feminine/masculine thing.
